I just spent an ugly weekend in Rhode Island. The motel blew chunks and the little coffee shop/creamery across the street was horrible. They couldn't even make decent eggs - they were like rubber. But I had a great surprise as I headed west into Connecticut on Monday to try and find a load...

I've got a 1995 FL70 straight truck with a Cummins 8.3 engine. Soon I'll be buying a Honda EU2000i (1600 watt) generator. The truck has a block heater which draws 850 watts but I'd like to add an oil pan heater. Wolverine says I need 500 watts for my size truck but that would limit the number...

Flexible Curtain Track - Walmart.com This might not be the 'A' plan but if you need to add a privacy curtain this gets the job done quickly and cheaply. It's flexible and arrives coiled up in a box that's maybe 1 ft square. It includes all the hardware including wall hangers and ceiling...

I'm an addict and McDonalds has ruined me. When it's fresh and in the morning it almost always is, I think their coffee is among the best I've ever had. So now when I brew a cup of Krogers brand coffee my taste buds complain that it tastes like sh*t. Is there a brand I can buy that tastes...

I've been wanting to get out west since I started doing this and I finally got the right load. Minnesota to Pueblo for good $. As luck would have it, my best bet to get out of here with shirt intact was booking a load from Cortez, CO (sw corner of the state) that was heading east. So tomorrow...

Do I have that about right? Sometimes I call a broker and he's trying to secure the lowest bid for a load. Fair enough. I may not like bidding low but there's nothing dirty about it - I'm free to look elsewhere. And then there's the broker that doesn't exactly have the load, he's just...

I quit June/2005 and I suddenly I want a cigarette, bad. I even bought an ecig the other day and hit it a few times before tossing it out the window. Many years ago they used to prescribe cigarettes for anxiety. I think it's the anxiety (pronounced road-rage) of being a truck driver in this...

I just bought an older (1995) straight truck with a sleeper. I'm gutting the inside and I've been following what y'all have been saying about the importance of insulation. 1" or 1 1/2" shouldn't be too expensive and should help a lot. Questions: 1. What is a good floor covering and should...
